Showcase: natural soaps

Wednesday, 29 June 2016

Soap has become one of those things that I never thought I'd like using because there are, let's be honest, more practical alternatives, but soap is just as lovely and lathery (totally a word) and feels great when used directly on your skin, since it can also double as a massage bar (like the ones you can buy from Lush).

I've recently started using a soap I bought from TKMaxx quite a long time ago that I used to have sitting on my shelf still in its packaging. It's lavender scented and I use it mainly with a nail scrubbing brush to get ground coffee out from under my fingernails (😷) but I also use it as a shower gel alternative. I love that soaps tend to linger longer on the skin, so I can smell the lavender for hours after, which I don't always get with shower gel, since they're sometimes not as moisturising and the scent is not as long-lasting.

I scoured the internet for some lovely natural soaps from all kinds of independent online stores and brands, and I've also included a couple of high street finds. I've included all the ethical information I could find about each shop/brand underneath the product.
